RC Universe's discussion of batteries and chargers focuses mostly on
airplanes, but many manufacturers under discussion also make RC cars:

Searching for "battery and charger combination," I wasn't able to find
specific advice for best combinations for various conditions. (You
might find that trolling a forum, or by posting such a question at a
forum.) Here is what I found:
Hobby Projects: "Control Circuits":
http://www.hobbyprojects.com/C/Control_Circuits.html
"Buying RC":
http://www.rcxotic.com/contentid-16.html
Scroll down to batteries and chargers -- but the guide doesn't really
address combinations; just offers recommendations in each category.
Since you're a beginner, it may be easier if you purchase a car with a
"combo pack."
At Freund's Remote Control Vehicle Center
http://rc-cars-4-u.com/index.html
See:
http://rc-cars-4-u.com/information.html
"To get started in Radio Control [electric or gasoline], we offers
many special Combo Packs which include all the products you'll need to
get started: Car, Radio, Battery Pack, and Promax Charger."
At BatterySpace, see "RC Batteries":
http://forums.batteryspace.com/forums/viewforum.php?f=8&sid=463efe1986034e37e0787e574a07da34
Searching for remote-controlled cars along with terms like "light
background" +"stock portion" +modified OR high end, or
"remote-controlled cars AND electronic systems AND modified OR high
end" other combinations, I didn't come up with much of anything.
However, there is some information about stock and modified, etc., in
some of the resources I've cited.

off-target! -- just post a "Request for Clarification," and I'll run
another search for you.
